    I stopped Amazon Prime because it when from being “your package will be at your house in two days” to “your package might leave our facility in two days and arrive to you some indeterminate time later.”

    I also feel like anytime I get on Amazon now, I might as well be on Alibaba, but it’s 10x the price. It’s hard to find good things because there are so many cheap factory direct products with smashed-my-face-against-the-keyboard brand names. There’s a Jansport backpack for sale, but you have to sort through all the bags from JDOEBG, AHIXBX, and PRJAGG first.

      This is the reason I hemmed over my subscription for a few years, and after they announced they were adding ads to Prime Video, that was the final straw. I’ve ordered maybe 1 or 2 things without a subscription since, but I’m really happy with how much I’m able to get much faster and better elsewhere.

      Shipping is the other way around for me. It’s still two day shipping but doesn’t ship for 2-3 days. So they’re technically true to their prime benefit.
